  1. 2nd comes right after first, I guess on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 1

    The Weekly World News found Noah's Ark a couple of years ago. And they had photographic proof.

  2. Re:PNG on 31 Lawsuits Filed Over Alleged JPEG Patent · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Microsoft is making pngs painful. I've tried to use them to put together sites before but gave up because the different browsers display png colors differently. I could get them all to match in Mozilla, but never in IE. So back to jpg and gif I went.

  3. I heard this first -- on vinyl... on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 1

    "Nothin' lasts forever but the Earth and Sky."

    All CD-R is dust in the wind....

  4. next record... on Highest Human Elevation Using a Rocketbelt · · Score: 3, Funny

    Stacking rocket men. 64 men, one atop the other, reaching to the heavens!

  5. Re:Missing choices on Fourteen Digital Music Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's because they don't make them anymore?

    If you go to their website http://archos.com/products/mp3_music_product_list. html You'll see that the jukebox players and recorders are MIA. Sad, because I love mine!

  6. The Networks are already making this year long... on National TV Turn Off Week · · Score: 1

    for me with the cancellation of all of the good shows. Is this week necessary any longer?

  7. better known as... on Sony Develops 25 GB Paper Disc · · Score: 1

    books.

  8. Re:This stuff probably kills fish too. on Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet · · Score: 1

    Both of you Anonymous Cowards are right! It sinks! It floats! It's a witch!

  9. Next Step in Plan for world domination on Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet · · Score: 1

    Replace all of the water in all of the oceans with Sapphire.

    I can't wait to replace that water in my swimming pool. Bye-bye itchy-wet-swimsuit feeling!


    I too am confident that I made some mistakes.

  10. They have these in Alexandria VA already on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    If you're going over 25 (it's a residential area), the light turns to red.
    I like this much better than the speeding cameras that we also have in this area that send you a photo of your speeding car with a ticket a month after it happens. How can you defend yourself against that? Do you know how fast you were driving a month ago, or even if it was you driving? I'm surprised that these cameras haven't been successfully challenged in court-- you can't defend yourself against them because you aren't even aware when the ticket is issued.

  11. Name Change: MS Shorthorn on Microsoft Clips Longhorn · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wonder if it'll just end up being a service pack for XP?

  12. Looking back on today's TV, 50 years from now... on Fifty Years of Color Television · · Score: 1

    Brian Unger (formerly of the Daily Show, now on NPR's Day to Day) has an amusing commentary looking back at TV today, if that makes any sense... Link.

  13. Is this going to end up as a ban of "Who Are You?" on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

    Roger Daltrey has been singing "who the fuck are you?" on classic rock stations for about 60 years now. Is this the silver lining for this otherwise crazily opressive cloud?

  14. Re:Lets see now.... on Audio Lunchbox: Music with no DRM · · Score: 1

    Is 192k considered a low bit rate by most mp3 listeners?

  15. Too Bad Someone Doesn't Make Moore's LOEG V2 on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Alan Moore's take on The War of the Worlds (in the League of Extraordinary Gentleman comic volume 2) was sooo cool-- in many ways much more interesting than the original novel.
    Of course, the first League movie was pretty crappy, so the prospects are prolly unlikely...

  16. A Remington and a Fax machine... on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 1

    Not the gun, the typewriter.

    On second thought, maybe the gun.

  17. NPR did a story on this last week... on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 1

    Worth listening to, if for nothing else than the very cartoony sound of the coing flipping machine... Link.

  18. Re:No. They don't. on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, Alex will post the recipe on epicurious.com soon. Perhaps it should be by the "Salted Water for Boiling" recipe link.

  19. You can also buy it from the publisher... on Voice Of The Fire · · Score: 5, Informative

    Top Shelf Comix, if you prefer to not deal with B&N. They have signed copies too! http://www.topshelfcomix.com/

  20. Watch out for those monkeys! on Mind Over Machine · · Score: 1

    Next thing ya know, they're going to be attacking us with psionic blasts from their exposed monkey brains!

  21. Re:Apple "gets it right" on Professor iPod Discusses Device's Social Impact · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps more accurately -- Apple's Marketing "got it right?"

  22. well in that case... on Ebay Suspends Phone Number Sales · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm not going to sell 1-800-GET-BENT after all.

  23. Re:A really good book of Clarke's on Arthur C. Clarke Talks With The Onion · · Score: 2, Informative

    Profiles of the Future is also a very good book. Some of it is a bit dated (last revised in 1984), but a lot of his logic in arriving at the profiles is still very relevant today.

  24. if it's true that pieces are falling off... on Space Station Slowly Falling Apart? · · Score: 4, Funny

    and if these pieces are coming to earth... I think it may be time for me to add an extra layer of protection to my tinfoil hat.

  25. Re:Inportant things to remember when oveclocking.. on Hack Your Car · · Score: 1

    Doh. Why did slashdot post me as an anonymous coward? All that work for nothing NOTHING!!!
